William Weir, from Rugby, Warwickshire, (left) told his mother Carrie, 41, he wanted to write a letter (right) to the US food giant after she told him how bad the toys were for the planet. After mentioning his pledge to teachers and friends at Dunchurch Infant School, William was invited to read his letter to 170 pupils during assembly. The youngster's articulate and thoughtful comments prompted McDonald's to invite him and his sister Francesca, four, to a feedback group to get their thoughts on the restaurant chain's environmental impact. A total of 1.2billion Happy Meals (inset) are sold across the world every year - meaning there are almost certainly more plastic toys in the world than the population of humans, which stood at 7.53 billion in 2017.
